The one-day-old full moon appears low in our southern sky tonight.

The bright red planet Mars is a special guest in our evening skies. For nearly two years, the planet has been fairly faint, but right now it shines brightly on center stage.

Tomorrow night the crescent moon and Jupiter appear together as a pair, high in the western sky after sunset. The two are in the zodiacal constellation Gemini, a constellation we usually associate with winter.

The Big Dipper is in a perfect viewing position in spring. An hour after sunset, the constellation is almost overhead.

Soon after sunset, there are two bright planets standing out among the stars.

A lunar eclipse will occur very early Tuesday morning. Over the span of several hours, the moon will fade, its light almost extinguished. At its dimmest, the moon will look like a darkened pumpkin.
